Instructions
- Prepare the Pan: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Arrange the saltines in a single layer.
- Make the Toffee: Melt the butter and brown sugar in a saucepan over medium heat. Once the mixture reaches a steady boil, cook for about 3 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Bake: Pour the hot mixture evenly over the crackers and spread it with a spatula. Bake for 5–7 minutes, until bubbling.
- Add Chocolate: Remove from the oven and sprinkle the chocolate chips over the hot toffee. Let them sit for 2–3 minutes, then spread the softened chocolate evenly.
- Cool: Add chopped nuts, sea salt, or sprinkles if desired. Let the toffee cool completely, then break it into pieces.
Easy Tips
- Use a rimmed baking sheet to contain the hot toffee mixture.
- Keep an eye on the butter and sugar while they boil to prevent burning.
- Let the finished toffee set completely before breaking it apart.
- Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.
Simple Variations
Try milk or dark chocolate instead of semi-sweet chocolate, or add chopped pecans, walnuts, almonds, or a small sprinkle of flaky sea salt.
